In a land far away;
~~~~
A beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess
happened upon a frog as she sat
contemplating ecological issues
on the shores of an unpolluted pond
in a verdent meadow near her castle.
~~~~
The frog hopped in to the princess' lap
and said: "Elegant Lady,
I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me
~~~~
One kiss from you, however,
And I will turn back
into the dapper, young prince that I am
into the dapper, young prince that I am
~~~~
and then, my sweet, we can marry
~~~~
and set up housekeeping in your castle
~~~~
with my mother,
~~~~
where you can prepare my meals
~~~~
clean my clothes, bear my children,
~~~~
and forever feel
grateful and happy doing so."
~~~~
That night,
~~~~
as the princess dined sumptuously
~~~~
on lightly saut'eed frog legs
~~~~
seasoned in white wine
~~~~
and onion cream sauce
~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself.
~~~~
I don't fucking think so.
